tbone, your sales guy sounds a lot like mine. I'm starting to think we're dealing with the same guy, as I got basically that same statement.

Probably, based on your location. I shot him an email and he replied. I asked why certain dealers are getting production numbers already but his dealership has not.

He acknowledged that certain dealers are getting prod numbers first because those dealers don't have any M3's on the lot, whereas his dealer still has 8 on the lot, and so they have to "wait". I suppose this makes sense. He does assure me (he has a few times) that I *will* get an M3. He says production of mine will be in August and expects a production number at the end of this month to early July. *fingers crossed* I just want one, don't have to be the 1st one.
